Boston Harbor
Bring a little Boston home.
Unframed Matte Poster · 11 × 14 inches
On the way to a favorite chair, there is time to notice the picture on the wall. Sailing vessels, small boats and a firing craft share Pierre Ozanne's Boston Harbor drawing, giving the water scene several distinct maritime details to notice.
Pierre Ozanne's 1778 drawing records Boston Harbor before the nineteenth-century expansion of the waterfront. Sailing vessels, small boats and a firing craft share the scene. Its French inscription associates the view with Admiral d’Estaing's American campaign, preserving a particular moment in the harbor's maritime history without identifying every vessel.
The drawing connects Boston's waterfront with d’Estaing's campaign through its inscription, keeping the historical association clear while individual vessel names remain unassigned. It can be a gift for a wall at home, with the subject's own story alongside the view.
